Description: News, images, data, and information about the CDS instrument on SOHO.
Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on SOHO - SOHO, CDS, UK, Solar, Physics, CCLRC, CLRC, RAL Normal Nominal Launched in 1995, the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is the world's largest solar physics space mission and it has revolutionised our understanding of the Sun. The Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) is a unique instrument, designed to detect solar extreme ultraviolet radiation which allows us to probe conditions in the solar corona. The spectra recorded by CDS provide information on temperature, density, elemental composition and flows of very hot plasma trapped in the Sun's magnetic field. The CDS operation is run from RAL, where the requests for observations from a user community of 15 UK institutes and over 60 world-wide groups are coordinated, planned and run.
